Forum rulesBefore asking a question or reporting an issue:
1. Please review the list of FAQ's.
2. Use the Google search box (at the top of each forum page) to see if a similar problem or question has already been addressed. This will search the entire contents of the forums as well as the iMacros Wiki.
3. We can respond much faster to your posts if you include the following information:

Notice the bolded stuff? Yeah you can then assume it won't work. The error message was this,"Syntax error. [this is line of code] is not a valid selector, line 1 (Error code: -1001)"

I am not sure if I missed some other technique to do this. But really I was really sad if it couldn't be done.
Thanks!

Hum..., a bit surprised by your RuntimeError, I think the 'SELECTOR' Parameter is not supported/has not been implemented yet by/in iMacros for FF... But I'm a bit confused/unsure because the Error is a bit different from what I recall...

But OK anyway, I would have 1 or 2 Workarounds for Situations like yours..., never (really) needed that exact Functionality but was very "close" once a few months ago, so I already did "the Thinking", ah-ah...! But, hum, pfff..., way too cumbersome to try to explain it in Words..., post a Site with URL and EXACT Steps of what you EXACTLY want...

But hum..., normally my first Reply in a Thread is a Reply to its Title..., (I read your Post and my Reply is a Reply to that Content), but to be honest, your Thread Title "Colon Distrupting The Extraction!!" doesn't make any sense to me..., "Distrup_whatever" is no English as a start (and nbd will be using that (Key)Word to search the Forum), but even, I simply don't understand your Thread Title in combination with the Content of your Post...
=> If you can give a(real) Descriptive Thread Title...? (Or explain..., maybe I missed stg..., but if I got confused, Users searching the Forum usually put 1-2 sec to a Thread from its Title if it might be relevant to their Scenario/Search to decide if they are going to open/check it.)

- (F)CIM = (Full) Config Info Missing: iMacros + Browser + OS with all 3 Versions...
- I usually don't even read the Question if that (required) Info is not mentioned...
- Script & URL usually help a lot for a more "educated" Help...

Hum..., I made a "mess" of my previous Reply, ah-ah...! Of course the 'SELECTOR' Parameter is correct when using the 'CLICK' Command on the 'EVENT' Mode... I got confused by the (new) 'SELECTOR' Parameter for the 'TAG' Mode instead...

=> Then OK, I think the '>' Chars in your ">DIV>DIV>etc..." also need to be escaped... (like you already do for the Double Quotes).
=> It's the '>' which is "disrupting" the Extraction, and not the Colon..., now I understand your Thread Title...

Hum..., 10 days later..., and no Follow-up...!? Not too impressed, but OK, never mind...
(Still no Replies/Answers on SOF btw...)
